There is a certain etiquette or rule to a four-way stop and that is the first driver or car to arrive at a four-way stop would be the first driver to leave.  However, in today’s get it done now world full of distractions many people are ignoring stop signs altogether which causes hundreds of accidents every year.  The solution is solar stop signs which have four flashing LED lights that surround the word stop and help to alert the distracted driver that there is a stop coming up.  

There are many different kinds of solar powered traffic signs beside solar stop signs.  There are solar powered yield signs, solar powered children at play signs, solar powered railroad crossing sign, solar powered deer crossing signs, solar powered low shoulder signs, and solar powered work ahead signs, solar powered emergency entrance signs and any type of solar sign a highway department or construction company might need. 

The number one cause of distracted drivers is not cell phone use like many people would imagine, that is the number two distraction of drivers. The number one distraction of drivers is eating while driving according to recent research.  However, in the past year or so, texting on ones cell phone has become popular while driving which has also become a very dangerous and fatal distraction. 

Many states are moving to ban cell phone use while driving, drafting bills making it illegal to use a cell phone while the car is in motion.  This means a driver would have to pullover or find a place to park in order to make or receive a cell phone call.  There are a few states that have already banned cell phone use while the motor vehicle is in motion.

 The LED flashing lights on the solar paneled traffic signs help drivers by gaining their attention and warning them of upcoming dangers in the road. Even the Parks and Recreation Department uses solar panel street signs.  

Construction companies also use solar paneled signs to help their workers stay safe while on the job.  There is a solar gas detector which helps in power plants and other places gases may leak without being detected by the human nose.  The solar gas detector uses the same principle as the solar paneled traffic sign using the sun’s energy although there is an alarm that sounds when gas is detected. 

Construction companies could also use solar paneled traffic signs such as road work ahead, low wires, low bridge or hardhat area.  Solar panel signs save a company money in addition to saving lives from distracted workers. Solar powered stop signs save lives by getting people’s attention with the flashing LED lights that a stop is needed in order to safely proceed to their destination.

A solar sign is a solar powered traffic sign that uses the sun’s energy to generate three or four flashing orange, red or yellow LED lights that usually surround the word or phrases on the sign.  These solar powered signs are used across the country to help save lives.

A solar powered stop sign contains four red flashing LED lights connected to a solar panel that collects the sun’s ultraviolet rays to generate enough power to make the lights flash on and off continuously for up to 12 hours.  The reason for the LED flashing lights on a stop sign is to help attract the attention of distracted drivers so that they might see the stop sign and stop their vehicle instead of rolling through the stop and possibly causing an accident.

A solar powered safety sign has been shown in test after test to help distracted drivers see the traffic signs where they otherwise would have kept driving without heeding their warning.  Distracted drivers are the number one cause of accidents in the United States and this includes drunk drivers.  One may think cell phones is the number one distraction; however a recent study showed that eating while driving is the number one distraction and the number two distraction were cell phones.  Although more recently cell phone texting is becoming a major problem in many cities with younger drivers especially teens and young adults in their 20s, texting while driving is very distracting because it’s like typing on a tiny computer while trying to navigate the roadways.  Many hundreds of accidents have been attributed to texting while driving over the past few years.  Texting and driving is very dangerous and many states are trying to ban all cell phone use while driving making it illegal to drive and talk on the cell phone, which is using the cell phone in any capacity while your vehicle is in motion.  This means if you have to make a phone call while driving, you must pull off the road and park before answering the phone or making a phone call.

Before solar signs are placed on the roads and highways, they are placed in areas where they are deemed for experiment and tested to make sure they worked in overcast and cloudy days or with trees overhead which might block the solar panel; however the solar panel still performs its duty to collect the sun’s rays and generate enough power to flash the LED lights.

The solar paneled traffic signs are constructed of heavy-duty materials and can withstand all types of weather and the LED flashing lights help drivers see the warning signs and whiteout conditions during snowstorms and dangerous rainfall during thunderstorms.

Solar sign lights are three or four flashing LED light that surround a word or phrase on a tin street or traffic sign.  The lights are meant to help grab the attention of distracted drivers so that they would heed the warnings of the signs.

There is a solar powered stop sign, solar powered directional signs, solar powered work ahead signs, solar powered school zone signs, solar powered railroad crossing signs, solar powered deer crossing signs, solar powered watch for possible falling rock signs, solar powered deaf children at play signs and all types of solar powered industrial signs for machine shops or power plants.

Solar powered signs save lives because they help distracted drivers who are not paying attention draw their attention to solar powered signs with the flashing LED lights on the tin signs that are better than the ordinary sign with no flashing lights.  Additionally, these solar powered LED flashing lights do not require any batteries, which eventually end up in landfills, or long electrical cords which drain the city’s resources.  The solar powered traffic signs only require sunlight but also work on cloudy days because the sun’s ultraviolet rays travel through the clouds.  These environmentally conscious solar powered signs are cost-effective to cities and towns that choose to use them on their streets and to the highway departments who also use solar paneled signs.

The LED flashing lights help distracted drivers by drawing their attention to the flashing lights on the traffic signs so the drivers may regard and obey what the sign has to “say”.  For example, there has been a large campaign about slowing down in work zones along the highways because several highway workers have been injured or even killed by speeding drivers.  With the flashing LED lights surrounding a bright orange or neon yellow ‘slow, workers ahead’ sign, the accident rate drops dramatically.  People can’t help but notice the flashing LED lights on the solar signs and this is exactly what the highway department, cities and towns across America want.

There are also solar sign for industrial plants and machine shops in bright neon yellow which warn of overhead wires or other cautions such as hard hat areas.  These flashing LED solar powered signs remind workers to beware and be careful while they’re working in what could be a dangerous situation.

No matter where a solar powered sign with its flashing LED lights is placed, it is certain to attract the attention of drivers, pedestrians or workers so that they remain safe and help to maintain the safety of those around them.  From schoolyards where school buses are often found to highway work zones, solar power street signs could save lives.

A solar powered stop sign has four flashing LED lights that surround the word stop in order to help alert drivers, who may be distracted, to better see the stop sign before they reach the intersection or corner and add to the fatality or injury rates of their community.

Many communities are turning to solar powered stop signs to help prevent accidents and to save the community money on fancy flashing lights that eat up electricity.  Solar powered stop signs use a solar panel to harness the sun’s energy which generates the flashing LED lights so that drivers are better able to see an upcoming stop sign or other traffic signs such as directional signs, railroad crossing signs, emergency entrance signs, pedestrian crossing signs, deer crossing signs and a traffic signal ahead sign.

Solar powered traffic signs have been proven time and time again to save lives by halting would be accidents at stop sign intersections, pedestrian crossings, winding roads and truck entrances and exits along the highways and other roadways where visibility is limited due to a hill or natural curve in the road. 

An LED solar sign usually contains four flashing red or orange LED lights that are brighter and last longer than fluorescent lights and are powered by the sun in order to save electricity and be more eco-friendly to the earth.  Environmentally conscious communities are switching to LED solar signs in order to help save the planet and save their communities more money by cutting back on utilities such as electricity.

The solar powered stop signs and other solar powered traffic signs are highly visible in all weather conditions including ‘white out’ conditions from snow and blizzards to torrential downpours where visibility is next to none.  The flashing LED lights on solar stop signs and most all solar powered traffic signs can take up to 110 mph winds when properly installed, in addition to withstanding hail and high heat temperatures.

Solar paneled safety signs and traffic signs are the best choice for construction sites, including those ‘work ahead’ sites along the highway, in order to keep workers safe from the fast-moving cars and drivers who may be distracted.  The flashing LED lights bring drivers back to the ‘here and now’ in order for them to know what’s going on and to adjust their speeds accordingly.

A solar sign uses the sun’s energy in order to power LED lights which illuminate ordinary traffic signs, construction signs, work zone signs, hospital zone signs, children at play signs and various types of warning signs like railroad crossing signs or danger, high-voltage wires nearby.

LED lights burn brighter and last longer than ordinary fluorescent lights and could be used on a safety sign in order to save money because there is no electricity needed, only the sun’s ultraviolet light.  Safety signs could be considered any signs that help direct traffic or save lives because they are there to protect drivers from other traffic.  An example of a safety sign is solar powered stop signs which have four flashing LED lights to help draw a driver’s attention to the stop sign which they might have otherwise missed had there not been flashing lights on the stop sign.  Many accidents happen at stop signs because people do not realize there is a stop sign there and drive past it crashing into another car that may have the right away.  With a solar powered stop sign and the flashing LED lights, it is less likely that a driver would miss the stop sign because they would be able to see it from a longer distance, even if they were not paying attention, the LED flashing lights could be seen out of the corner of one’s eye in order to heed the warnings.

Countless accidents are caused by distractions including cell phone use, eating while driving, adjusting the radio, looking for something in a purse or a bag, reading directions or using a GPS navigational system, talking to a passenger or simply thinking about other things rather than focusing all one’s concentration and attention on the road ahead and what dangers might be lurking just around the corner.  Driving requires the person behind the wheels full attention although this is rarely the case because there is so much going on in life that it spills over into the car along with us.

Solar traffic signs, such as the solar powered stop sign or a solar powered speed limit sign, could help save lives while saving municipalities, cities and towns thousands of dollars in electrical costs.  However, there is no price to be put on a life to be saved by solar powered traffic signs.

Solar powered signs help to illuminate the numbers on a speed limit sign, the letters on the stop sign, the silhouette of a deer on a deer crossing sign and generally brighten all directional or traffic signs for drivers and pedestrians who use the roadways and highways so that they may be safer while their city and state saves taxpayer money.

Solar powered stop signs are used in many different areas around the country in order to help alert drivers to the stop sign they might have otherwise missed because of natural distractions (like ones thoughts) within the car or outside of the car (like rubbernecking to see an accident).

In addition to solar powered stop signs with the flashing LED lights, there are many different styles of solar traffic signs available to construction companies, schools, colleges and universities, hospitals and emergency rooms facilities, fire departments and cities and towns.  These solar powered traffic signs use the sun’s power to generate flashing LED lights which helped to attract a driver’s attention to the traffic sign so they will adhere to what the sign designates they do.  For example, a solar powered speed limit sign installed near a school will help drivers realize they are entering a school zone and to begin slowing down to the designated speed limit because they have seen the flashing LED lights that highlight the speed limit on the sign.

LED solar sign lights that are placed on solar traffic signs help alert motorists to many different hazards along their path.  Large construction vehicles entering and exiting the highway could have a solar powered traffic sign placed near the road to notify drivers of this impending action.

Many accidents in construction zones are down because of solar powered traffic signs and work areas where pedestrians and large heavy construction equipment share the roadway.  A driver of large heavy construction equipment may not be able to see a person on the road; however they will be able to see the solar sign panel and the flashing LED lights as they come up to a crosswalk in their work area.  These solar powered traffic signs will help to prevent many accidents.

Hospital zones where emergency vehicles are racing in and out of traffic can be helped with solar powered traffic signs and solar powered stop signs.  Accidents involving emergency vehicles and other motorists can be avoided by using solar powered stop signs to alert drivers of an impending stop where they might not have otherwise seen the stop sign and continued through it into an accident.

At three o’clock on any given weekday there are thousands of children leaving schools all across the country and waiting school buses and parents in cars ready to pick them up.  Accidents can be avoided with solar powered traffic signs such as solar powered speed limit signs, solar powered yield signs and solar powered stop signs.

Whether it’s a construction zone, school zone or hospital zone, solar powered safety signs and traffic signs can help to save many lives.

Everyone knows that the rule of four way stop etiquette is that the first person to a stop sign is the first person who gets to leave the stop sign.  However, more and more motorists are prone to ignore stop signs completely because they are too distracted with something going on in the car such as children or dogs or perhaps a cell phone call; one’s own thoughts are often a distraction to drivers causing them not to pay attention and speed through stop signs that were put there for a purpose, the safety of all drivers and pedestrians in the general area.

With solar powered stop signs, more distracted drivers will be alerted to stop where they are supposed to because of the four flashing LED lights that surround the words ‘stop’ on each of these solar powered signs.  Solar powered signs are good for the environment because they use the sun’s energy to generate enough power for 12 continuous hours of flashing solar sign lights.

Besides solar powered stop signs, there are other solar traffic signs available for cities and towns, schools, construction sites, highway work zones or anywhere there are pedestrians and cars sharing a roadway.  Other solar traffic signs include yield signs, speed limit signs, and railroad crossing signs, school bus stop ahead signs, heavy equipment crossing signs, farm equipment crossing signs, hospitals and school zone signs, slow signs, pedestrian crossing signs or deer crossing signs, each equipped with a solar panel on top and flashing LED lights surrounding the words or picture on the sign.

Recent research has shown that many drivers are distracted with simple things like eating, cell phone calls, reading directions, talking with a passenger (or several), “rubbernecking” in order to see an accident or other traffic problems or fiddling with the radio or CD player.  Solar powered stop signs cannot help people from being distracted, it’s a natural occurrence that will happen again and again no matter how vigilant a person is. However, the solar powered stop signs can help motorists become more alert to what their surroundings are trying to tell them with flashing LED lights.

Solar powered stop signs save lives by getting people’s attention with the flashing LED lights that a stop is needed in order to safely proceed to your destination.

Solar powered signs near construction sites help to save the lives of construction workers, pedestrians and motorists.  Solar powered signs include work zone signs, danger: high-voltage wires, reduced speed limit, pedestrian crossing signs and stop signs.  These solar powered signs used the sun’s energy to generate four flashing red or orange LED lights that surround whatever the sign says.  For example, a pedestrian crossing sign has the traditional pedestrian figure walking across the street on a bright yellow diamond shaped sign and then has a red flashing LED light each of the four corners.  The solar powered signs use the sun’s energy so there is no need to run dangerous long wires from an electrical outlet to the sign.

Solar powered signs with flashing LED lights help to alert distracted motorist to what is going on around them; construction site workers who are driving heavy equipment could also benefit from a flashing solar powered stop sign or other solar powered signs.  When safety is an issue, solar powered signs can be most beneficial to everyone around them including pedestrians, motorists and construction site workers.  People can often be distracted by cell phones, car radios or their own thoughts.  Distractions make people oblivious to what is happening around them, and solar powered signs can help bring them back to the here and now and help save lives in the process.

Solar traffic signs can have a powerful impact on construction sites in which so many things are happening at once; a construction worker can easily be distracted by something going on in the distance and not pay attention to where they are walking.  By having flashing LED lights on various traffic signs, a construction worker can be more diligent about his or her surroundings because these flashing lights draw attention to the posted sign and help to keep a worksite safe.

In addition to saving lives, solar powered signs set at a construction site could impact a construction company’s insurance rates in a positive way.  By taking precautionary measures, such as using solar powered signs, a construction company could ask for a re-evaluation of their insurance premiums at which time a lower rate could be prescribed by an insurance agent.  Just as having fire extinguishers on site is a good idea, using solar powered signs could save the construction company thousands of dollars a year in insurance premiums.

A solar powered stop sign could save a municipality, city and state thousands of taxpayer dollars in energy costs by using the sun’s energy to generate power to flashing LED lights. 

A solar powered stop sign consists of four red LED flashing light surrounding the large word ‘stop’ on a traditional red sign in order to draw motorists’ attention to the sign so that they will be able to stop where indicated.  These solar powered signs cost next to nothing to maintain and run on a continuing basis because the LED lights last and last so they do not have to be replaced that often; the sun’s energy generates the flashing lights for up to 12 continuous hours so there is no need for expensive electricity.

In addition to the solar powered stop signs, there are many different solar traffic signs that alert drivers to warnings such as pedestrian crossing, school crossings, deer crossing, railroad crossings, danger: low bridge, danger: high voltage wires, danger: work zone, ‘stop here when flashing’ sign for a fire engine exit, yield signs, traffic light ahead signs and speed limit signs.

Pedestrian crossing and school crossings sign are important when drivers and pedestrians need to share the road.  Often times, drivers are not paying attention or can become easily distracted by their thoughts or something within their car like the radio or a cell phone.  The combination of a distracted motorist and pedestrians on the same road could spell disaster for both parties.  Flashing LED lights on a pedestrian crossing or school crossing sign will help to alert preoccupied motorists so that they are more aware of their surroundings.

Solar powered danger signs with flashing red or yellow LED lights could also help to warn distracted drivers of upcoming dangers on the road.  Research study after study has proven that distracted drivers kill people, pedestrians, other drivers or themselves. To help prevent these potentially deadly accidents, solar powered traffic signs are a good first step in prevention.  Drivers will always be distracted by something in the car, by something outside of the car or by their own thoughts; using solar powered traffic signs with flashing LED lights is one way to help bring a driver’s attention back to the road.

Most highways have top speeds of 70 mph; however drivers continually exceed this limit by up to 15 mph or more.  In order to accommodate an ever-growing population of people and roads, many highways now have traffic signals on them.  Solar powered signs could alert drivers well in advance of these traffic signals in order for them to be able to begin to slow down and eventually stop if the signal has turned to red.

Solar powered traffic signs and stop signs save thousands of dollars in taxpayer money, in addition to saving lives every day.

LED flashing stop signs help motorists at intersections because they alert motorists to stop signs they may not otherwise have seen.  These solar signs, which use the sun’s energy instead of generators, save cities and municipalities untold thousands of dollars each year in maintenance fees, gas fees and in the lives they save by alerting drivers to an upcoming stop sign.

Solar powered stop signs have four flashing LED lights surrounding the word STOP so that motorist’s attention will be drawn to the flashing lights. Therefore, they will receive the stop sign and are better prepared to stop at the upcoming intersection. 

LED safety signs are not only reserved for stop signs, there are LED safety signs for railroad crossings, school crossings, heavy equipment crossings, pedestrian crossings, deer crossings and yield signs at intersections and entrances and exits to the highway.  There are also special made LED safety signs for construction, businesses, and schools that have special needs when it comes to their parking lots or construction yards.

LED flashing stop signs draw the motorists’ attention to the stop sign better than a regular stop sign would, especially on residential streets or busy downtown areas where there is a lot going on and it’s hard to see whether or not there is a stop sign.  Law enforcement praises LED flashing stop signs because they have helped save many people from running stop signs and causing unnecessary accidents, many that lose lives and many that could have been prevented.
